Fillers
Fillers
A filler is an empty metal or plastic enclosure that is installed at the factory or in the field into a
server component slot that does not contain a functioning component. The fillers ensure proper
airflow through the system. Depending on the component configuration, the server can include
the following types of fillers:
■
Drive filler
■
PCIe filler (covering back panel, not inserted in the PCIe slot)
Caution - When you remove a server component while the server is connected to power, insert
a new component or filler within 60 seconds to ensure proper system chassis cooling. After
you complete cold-servicing, ensure that all fillers are in place before connecting the server to
power.

Find the Server Serial Number
You need the serial number of the server's chassis to obtain technical support for the system.
Note - When a drive backplane, SPM, or motherboard is replaced, the chassis serial number
and part number might need to be programmed into the new component. This must be done in a
special service mode by trained service personnel.
Locate the serial number using one of the following methods:
■ Read the serial number from a sticker located on the front of the server or
another sticker on the side of the server.
■ At the Oracle ILOM prompt, type.
